Lady Gaga Condemned for Rolling on Stage in a Wheelchair
By Robert Paul Reyes
"She has been criticised for her use of religious symbolism, slammed for some of her song lyrics and had animal rights groups up in arms over her meat dress.
But Lady Gaga might have pushed her critics over the edge last night after she came on stage in Australia in a wheelchair."
Lady Gaga is a very calculated, conniving and cynical con artist, she does and says controversial things knowing there will be backlash. But the sinister pop tart is willing to offend minorities -- controversy moves product and sells tickets to her concerts.
The pop diva has already offended Hispanics and Asians when she used racial slurs to describe these minorities in her abominable song "Born This Way", and she offended Christians in her patently offensive use of religious imagery in her video for her single "Judas."
But Gaga has really lost it, rolling on stage in a wheelchair is her most offensive stunt to date, if her monsters had a shred of dignity they would have booed her off the stage.
Gaga may claim that she was expressing solidarity with disabled people, but we all know that she was using them to create controversy and sell records.
It's time for all of us who were born this way (Hispanics, Gays, Asians, Catholics, the Disabled), to kick this loser to the curb!
